Our winner for week 7 is Bob M. After much troubleshooting effort and discussion here in the OpsMgr forums (see full discussion here) Bob was able to perfect a scripting effort started by the talented Stefan Stranger [MSFT] to raise an alert in OpsMgr 2007 or SCE when databases have not been backed up recently. I know several people who were using Bob's solution the week he published. Here is Bob's full accounting of the solution, which would be useful an every environment using SQL monitored by OpsMgr.
OpsMgr Script: SQL DB Backup test alerting when it shouldn't
This script would go nicely into a 2-state monitor in OpsMgr. For steps on how to do this, see How to create a Script-based 2-State Monitor
Well done Bob! Your name goes into the hat for the grand prize drawing at MMS 2010 in Las Vegas!
